How to log soap requests response time with cxf on the client side?

Question

I'm using cxf to build a client on a soap webservice. Is there any cxf interceptor feature that could automatically measures and logs the webservice response time?

I'm already using org.apache.cxf.interceptor.LoggingInInterceptor and LoggingOutInterceptor for logging the xml content itself.

Answer 1

CXF has some awesome out of the box features that can help monitor the response times. For this the JMX will need to be enabled.

Refer: http://cxf.apache.org/docs/jmx-management.html

The management api is part of the cxf-rt-management.jar.The features can be enabled against the target endpoint that needs to be monitored using:

org.apache.cxf.management.interceptor.ResponseTimeFeature

This will make use of the following interceptors:

• org.apache.cxf.management.interceptor.ResponseTimeMessageInInterceptor
• org.apache.cxf.management.interceptor.ResponseTimeMessageOutInterceptor
